Hmm. Well I found the Audio Technicas for ~$140; if I moved up into that price range, what should I look at?

Yeah,I don't mind the lack of isolation much (coming from nodded PortaPros). Someone else mentioned the Audio Technica ATH-AD900x; any idea how those compare?

Hi, there are quite a few threads like this, but none of them can help me decide. Basically I'm in the market for an open-back headphone around $100, and I've heard the Yamaha HPH-200 and Grado SR-80e/i recommended. The sound signature I'm looking for is mostly neutral (rock and classical, some...

Ah, sorry, didn't notice that.

I'm looking to buy the HPH-200 for classical listening, after a lot of searching. I've found them as low as $80 here:  ...

All right, I've had these for about a week now, and I am LOVING them. They sound so much clearer than anything I've tried before, and all my music sounds really crisp. I find that I have to turn the volume up to drive these things, but when they're cranked up they sound amazing. They don't have...

All right, I just got my KRK KNS-6400s today, and am listening to them as I write this review.   So I got them about 30 minutes ago and immediately plugged them in and had a listen (they had some nice isolation, which I immediately noticed). My first impression was...meh. They didn't sound...

All right, after extensive research, I think I'm going with the KRK KNS-6400s. Speak now or forever hold your peace, anyone?

Quote:   Huh. These seem good as well.   Since the Yamahas are pretty far outside my price range, how do these compare in detail and quality?

Ooh, these sound really nice. But they're pretty far out of my budget. Are there any clones of these that can be found at a lower price?

Right, sorry. I suppose the sound signature I'm looking for is something detailed yet still a little warm in sound. Some bass would be nice too.

Thank you all for your suggestions! DJHeadshot, have you tried the PortaPros? How do they stack up against the headphones you examined?

Hmm. All these choices are making my life more complicated, lol.   Anyone know how the K240s and the Fischer FA-003s (and their clones) compare? I know both are very neutral-sounding, which makes them good for classical. Which one has the better sound quality?

How do the AKG K240s compare with the JVC HA-S500s, considering classical is the emphasis?

I've done that multiple times. Right now I'm looking for something that sounds better and doesn't keep breaking.

I'm mainly into classical and some rock. Can anyone else attest to these?

Quote:   How do the Sony V6 and the JVC HARX700 compare to the Jaycar Pro Monitors, since they're in about the same price range? Also, are these a step up from the PortaPros, or are they about the same sound-quality-wise?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a set of budget full-size over-the-ear headphones to replace my trusty but aging Koss Portapros. I'm looking for something below (or a tad over) $50.   So far, I've found the Jaycar Pro Monitor Headphones (Fischer FA-003...
